<h1>Server Development Tutorial</h1>
<p>In this step we will test our server as follows:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p><a href="#Launch_capability">Launch capability</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#Identification__application_name_and_vendor_name_">Identification</a> (application name and vendor name)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#Reading_a_value">Reading a value</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#Writing_to_a_value">Writing to a value</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><a href="#Compliance_Testing">Compliance Testing</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="Launch_capability" id="Launch_capability"></a>Launch capability</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Compile and build your newly developed server.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Right-click on the project and choose "Start new instance" from the "Debug" menu.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The application should launch successfully. You may be prompted by Windows Firewall to permit traffic to/from this server - you are encouraged to allow this behavior.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Identification__application_name_and_vendor_name_" id="Identification__application_name_and_vendor_name_"></a>Identification (application name and vendor name)</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Once the application is running you will see the application name clearly stated at the top of the window.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Connect a Client to the Server and then navigate to the following node within the address space and then read the value:<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">Objects -&gt; Server -&gt; ServerStatus -&gt; BuildInfo -&gt; ProductName</span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Read the value of the following node:<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">Objects -&gt; Server -&gt; ServerStatus -&gt; BuildInfo -&gt; ManufacturerName</span></p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Reading_a_value" id="Reading_a_value"></a>Reading a value</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Connect a client to the server and then navigate and read the following node:<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">Objects -&gt; CTT -&gt; MyFolder -&gt; MyNode</span>.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Writing_to_a_value" id="Writing_to_a_value"></a>Writing to a value</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>While connected to the "MyNode" you will elect to write a value to the node.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Upon writing to the node, your UA Server will display a modal messagebox window to the screen showing you the value you sent. Simply dismiss this window.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<h2><a name="Compliance_Testing" id="Compliance_Testing"></a>Compliance Testing</h2>
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Lastly, but most importantly you need to test your server for compliance.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Download and install the latest <a href="http://www.opcfoundation.org/uactt">UA CTT (Compliance Test Tool)</a> from the OPC Foundation website.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The UA CTT contains product documentation (similar to this) which describes this powerful tool, and also contains tutorials which demonstrate how to test a server.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open the product documentation and navigate to the following page:<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;">Compliance Testing -&gt; Server Testing -&gt; Introduction.</span></p>
</li>
</ol>
